Abu Dhabi Airports announced that it has so far spent AED12.5 billion or 66 percent of the AED19.1 billion budget for its iconic structure Midfield Terminal Building, MTB, which will be completed by Q4 of 2019.

"According to the schedule, it will be ready for operation in 2019 and we are confident our contractor and teams will deliver. This building will serve 84 million passengers a year, or 11,000 passengers per hour at peak times,'' said Abdul Majeed Al Khoori, Acting CEO at Abu Dhabi Airports, during a hard hat media tour organised by the company in collaboration with the Secretariat-General of Abu Dhabi Executive Council to update media persons on the progress in the construction of the mega aviation project, one of the key projects of the Abu Dhabi government.

''The MTB, which will support both, our own long-term growth ambitions, and those of other Abu Dhabi stakeholders, particularly Etihad Airways, as the emirate’s economy continues to expand and diversify, is now 86 percent complete and experimental operations will begin by the end of 2018,'' he stated.
